Here at CollegeCandy, we know that bad decisions make good stories. But as we’ve watched our favorite starlets fall from grace, we’ve started to realize that growing up under the spotlight might not be for the best. So even though I’m not rolling in the dough as an heiress from my parents’ inheritance or from a viral video of my childhood cuteness on YouTube, I’m happy to have had a normal (for the most part) upbringing.

Unconvinced? Check this:

Messing up under a magnifying glass! Many of us are using these four years or so to try new experiences – skipping class, dancing wildly at the college bar, and possibly dabbling in illegal drugs. Though they may not be the wisest choices we make during our time at higher learning institutions, at least we have the opportunity to forget about them as early as the morning after. On the other hand, the pictures of Miley Cyrus experimenting with salvia, the reputation of Paris Hilton taking over tabletops and the criminal record of LiLo will not only spread farther than any of the immediate social circles who could ever find out about our little mistakes, but they will be remembered forever.

Playing a rigged dating game! As if it isn’t hard enough to find a decent guy to take home to Mom and Dad for Thanksgiving weekend, playing the field as a celebrity must be hard work if a successful couple is as rare as a Top 40 song without AutoTune. Not only do we have a wider selection of prospective candidates, but we also aren’t widely scrutinized for every bad blind date or every mate that we think is actually good for us when they actually aren’t. And thankfully, there isn’t overwhelming speculation regarding when we do decide to become sexually active…or with whom.

When I groaned after No Strings Attached ended, my friend turned to me and said, “If you hate romance, don’t go see romantic comedies!” And those who have read my reviews before probably already know that I’m not a sucker for romance. So you would think that I might enjoy a comedy about platonic sex buddies Emma and Adam (played by Nathalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher). They have their simple romance-free rules, just in case they start falling for each other. But as we all know, in the world of romantic comedies, rules are made to be broken. Corny jokes and unrealistic situations ensue.

Portman and Kutcher are beautiful people, no one can deny that. It’s not hard to watch them on screen. But after seeing Portman’s work in Black Swan, there’s just no comparison. She is capable of challenging herself as an actress, but No Strings Attached is the kind of movie that comes out a hundred times in a year. A girl with commitment issues “unexpectedly” reveals that her heart isn’t made of stone. Not completely original. I’m not yet convinced that Kutcher can take on tougher roles than the cute, flawless love interest, but he owes it to himself to at least try something new. Read More »

The following is an excerpt from CollegeFashion.net, the site for fashion-minded college ladies.

Fleeting trends, a revolving door of new designers, and a constantly evolving pop culture can make the bustling world of fashion confusing and intimidating for anybody… especially a college girl on a budget! It can sometimes be difficult to decide which styles are worth investing in, and which will last only a season or two.

In response to the idea of “fast fashion,” there has been a recent resurgence in the popularity of American “heritage” brands: companies whose high-quality, well-crafted pieces have been proven to transcend decades. Due to their practical styling and versatility, the girls at CollegeFashion have named five classic American products that deserve a spot in your closet.

This week, the Golden Globes happened along with a lot of other fun stuff! Celebs got pissed, celebs got engaged, celebs broke up, and some celebs even had secret babies! All in all, a well-rounded week, I’d say.

Back To The Semester Parties

1. You’ll probably never see Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes again. Despite the fact that he did a hilarious job of hosting the Golden Globes, which would have been utterly dull without him, Ricky Gervais’s jokes are being slammed by the majority of Hollywood. Why? I guess because he made fun of both Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp within the first five minutes (I guess Hollywood royalty isn’t used to being picked on…), he trashed the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, and according to some people, he just went ‘too far’ with the jokes he made about Robert Downey Jr., Bruce Willis, and Tom Cruise. There were tons of rumors that he was asked to never return – but apparently, Ricky has made that decision on his own. Can we pull the stick out of Hollywood’s Botox-injected butt, please?

2. Halle Berry is having baby daddy drama. She’s going into a custody battle with her ex, Gabriel Aubry, over their daughter Nahla. He wants to be officially declared the father, and wants joint custody of his daughter. Can’t really blame the guy, can you? Their break-up seemed pretty friendly, but let’s see what happens when the court gets involved.

In the last year, it seems as though being single has been my specialty. While flings and hookups have come and gone (pun intended) and dates have left me with some less than desirable memories, my current single status has remained loyally by my side. I’ve learned a lot in the past year and I’ve discovered that single girls around the world are all in the same fabulous pair of shoes.

So if you’re sick of sitting at a table for one, eating a meal portioned for two, I cordially invite you to join The Single Girl Society, where being single is more than status, it’s a lifestyle. Of course, with everything in life, the single girl lifestyle comes with rules and I’ve picked up quite a few along the way. So kick back, grab a drink and let the lessons I’ve learned serve as your very own roadmap to transitioning to and enduring the single life.

So you’re in the middle of a particularly “blah” dinner date and your date launches into (yet another) story about quail season and you’re about to give up all hope and consider joining a convent just so you’ll never have to put yourself through this kind of cruel and unusual punishment ever again.

Look, I know where you’re coming from. You start to drink heavily standing by the reasoning that if your date refuses to have a personality, you’ll just have to let the liquor create one for him. You keep glancing at your cell wondering why your best friend has yet to call with your routine emergency date rescue call. We’ve all been there. It’s those nights that being single gets such a bad rep.

So why is that after such awful dates we still waver when considering a follow-up date?

Lesson 8: Trust your instincts. Read More »

It used to be that reality shows were reserved for D-List celebrities and rich, catty, bored, Botoxed housewives. But not anymore. Just ask YouTube sensation Antoine Dodson. Dude went from “random guy whose house was broken into” to business mogul (he had his own Halloween costume, yo), recording artist (with a performance on the BET Awards!) and now, a full-fledged TV star with his own show.

Yes, it’s true. And while the intellectual, high brow part of my brain wants to scoff at such a blatant mockery of television programming, I can’t deny that I’ll watch it. And DVR it. And watch it again.

It’s officially winter and that means that boots are everywhere. Knee-high boots, over-the-knee boots, ankle boots, booties, shooties — there are thousands of boots in fashion this year, and every single outfit shown in every single fashion magazine incorporates them in some way.

Unfortunately, these boot trends don’t always fit every calf-size out there. Some of you may have narrower calves, while others may be wider. But don’t worry – you don’t need to miss out on the hottest trends of the season just because you don’t have what shoe designers consider the “ideal” lower stumps. We’re here to help; we’ve scoured the web and found the perfect boots, no matter what size you are!

Warning! Before you watch this video, make sure your medicine cabinet is fully stocked with mind soap. Because you’re going to need it after  you watch this charming video of 4-year-old advertising her booty. And no it’s not a home video shot by her parents. It’s a performance she does on The Talk (the poor man’s The View) wearing a truly inspiring outfit. It’s not every parent who can spot a miniature top hat and turn it into something I threw up last weekend.
